core i7 940xm with throttle stop

hey i keep reading that i should use throttle stop with my procesor if i want to get the best out of it. the only problem is i dont no anything abou throttle stop or how to configure it. I've tried reaserching it for a few days now and i am not turning anything useful up. so i figured i would just ask here

 

Seach "Throttle stop guide" Uncle Webb the author of throttle stop wrote a guide and its on the forum. A resource doesn't get better than that.



Edit: Throttle stop guide Did the work for ya.

 

thanks ill check this out

 

ok so i read the guide but i still dont understand y or how exactly throttle stop will help out with my performance. what is my goal when using the program. its a ton of info maybe i got bogged down by all the features of the program

 

Throttle stop is a great ocing tool for the xm chips. You have complete control over your cpu multipliers, you can get a little boost or a lot. It's really an amazing little tool.

 

ThrottleStop allows your CPU to consume more energy or run at a higher multiplier. You can tell it to run when Windows boots, so it is very convenient. To see it in action, run a Vantage benchmark so you have something to base your results on. Overclocking your CPU will raise the GPU scores in the process, but I mainly pay attention to just the CPU score. In ThrottleStop, go to the 'TPL' button and raise it to, say, 80 TDP and 70 TDC. Hit Apply. Run another benchmark and you'll see your CPU score is up quite a bit. It obviously makes your CPU run hotter too. I'd advise you to get HWInfo32 so you can monitor CPU temperatures. For ultimate stability, run Prime95 with small FFTs. Run it until your temps are stable, and are no longer climbing. No game can hammer the CPU like Prime95, so if you've got good temps while running that, you're set for all other operations. Have fun!

 

ah ok. you just made this a lot clearer for me. Thanks for this info.

 

so i just used Throttle stop and ran a vantage test. the wierd thing is my score was higher before i used throttle stop. The settings i used in throttle stop where the ones turbodtalon suggested. 80TDP and 70TDC. those are the only settings i changed within throttle stop and i hit apply. was i supposed also hit the "turn on" button?

 

YES .
